Using CAKeyFrameAnimation to animate images in a CALayer
//Create the layer
layer = [CALayer layer];
//Configure the animation
animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"contents"];
[animation setCalculationMode:kCAAnimationDiscrete];
[animation setDuration:2.0f];
[animation setRepeatCount:HUGE_VALF];
[animation setValues:/* your NSArray of CGImageRefs*/];
//Add the animation to the layer
[layer addAnimation:animation
forKey:@"contents"
];
[layer setFrame:/* The frame of the layer*/];
//Add to the super layer
[parentLayer addSublayer:layer];

Thanks, it works. And the [animation setValues: /**/]; just like this:

[animation setValues:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:(id)[UIImage imageNamed:@"i1"].CGImage, (id)[UIImage imageNamed:@"i2"].CGImage, (id)[UIImage imageNamed:@"i3"].CGImage, nil]];
